Sorry for the confusion. And thanks for confirming that GHC and the base library do the right thing (if we let them).
Hm, that's my question -- how is this the right thing? Umlaut u turns up as 0xFC for UTF-8 users; 0xDCFC, for Latin-1 users. This is an ordinary hello world type program, can't think of any unique environmental issues. - So should we routinely run argv through a high-byte stripper? - I should learn to appreciate the high 0xDC00 byte, because it serves some purpose I wasn't aware of? - Am I somehow messing myself up, and this doesn't normally happen? - Or is the base library really not quite right here? Just curious, mind you! Donn
